Nothing has been focused on style-first products that have been impressing us with their value proposition, but can Nothing continue to keep prices low? James is here to take a look at the new Nothing Ear (stick) earbuds that replace the Nothing Ear (1) as their entry-level earbuds.

There are far better half-ear designed TWS than this one. For example, you got the Airpods(non-pro) , Galaxy Buds live(which is half ear but not the Airpods type design), then you have Oppo Enco Free and Enco Air 2, they are far superior in sound quality and everything than the Nothing ones and are actually meant for day to day usage.

@NavicNick Год назад

I got them from his and MKBHD's recommendation and I really regretted it. Sound quality was trash compared to my pixel buds and my galaxy buds 2, the noise cancelling switched between two ANC profiles when on the bus making it super jarring and uncomfortable, and the countless "game-breaking" bugs I encountered over the 5 months I owned them made it so I will never buy a Nothing product again. They weren't worth $100 (because they never worked) and they certainly are not worth $150

@marijnmolenaar2848 Год назад

@@NavicNick Exactly my experience. I have no idea how all these tech reviewers used to praise those things so good. In my case, they where nothing like the reviews at all. Sure, they looked very good and they sounded allright, but that's where the positives ended for me. The music often just stopped for a few seconds every minute or so (especially when I was in open area's or riding my scooter, then it happend way more frequently). Sometimes only one bud worked, so I had to reset them. The ANC was a mess, it kept switching between the two modes exactly as you told, that was really, really annoying. And worst of all, I had it happen to me tree times that after I put them back in the case, the caselight kept showing the green LED, and I was not able to do anything. I wasn't able to Reconnect them, reset them, it was like they where bricked. I had to wait two days before they went back to normal. I was so done with these things that I sold them after two months. Never have I ever bought a piece of electronics that where this frustrating and buggy. I'm gonna avoid anything from Nothing from now on. Bought the Galaxy Buds 2, and had absolutely no issues with them

They're not direct versions, either. I've used the Ear Stick for three weeks, and they're a totally different experience. You can compare them to the first set of buds, but I don't they're worth thinking about as straight up "versions" (like you could for say, Soundcore Liberty Air Pro, Air Pro 2, Air Pro 3, etc etc).

@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator Год назад

I got the White Ear 1's when released & then the Blacks. Love them both, no issues for me, maybe I got lucky. I use mine while out saltwater fishing in the rain & extreme heat here in SE Texas. I've never had Bluetooth issues like loosing my connection, etc. I do wish I could get further away from my phone before I start loosing connection but for $99 I don't really care. They sound great for a flat $99. I don't like these Ear Sticks because of no tips. I don't like hard things in my ears. That starts to hurt after hours of use.

@BB-ed4om Год назад

To me it’s the exact opposite. Silicone seals really bother my ears but I barely feel the looser fit earbuds sitting there. Glad there’s another option for this type finally. I have these for the gym, and AirPods for work. Hopefully these will last just as many charge cycles or longer.

hilarious revew, from one that completely missed the key on such a pair of earbuds and likely why people look at these. almost like he doesnt even notice that they are targeted two different perspective of users. Im one of those that simply dont like that stuffed feeling of in ear models that gives that plugged feeling and Im vacuming the market for these semi in ear / half in ear types, and trying to find the ones, that is as good as it can get from that design aspect that useally take a big hit to bass. Had some B&O soem years back, as they are here from Denmark and on sale, and generally like their clean soundstage, but dang those E8 did not fit well with my ears and definately did not like that stuffed feeling of siclicone or memory type earbud types. . Have a pair of Apple Pro 2 in the household.. and I was impressed how comfortable they are for stuffed plugged type, but still would prefer those half in ear types. so been purchasinga few of those like Edifier W220T with all that snapdragon loseless sound and the full AtpX dynamic adaptive codec and yeah..a big hit to the bass.. they were around 40 bucks with incl. 25% VAT. EU. also purchased the Soundpeats Air3 HS deluxe (38USD), and atm looking at these Nothing Ear and the Xiaomi buds 4 that both are significantly more expensive.. but thats my incentive get the best decent half in ear types atm.. that take the leats hit to the soundquality from that variant..as I aitn that fund of that plugged feeling with the silicone type.

Have you tried over ears? Sure, they're not as portable as TWS, but they'll easily be the most comfortable out of them all, and the ANC will also be unbeatable by any IEM's or earbuds. Sony WH-1000XM4 or XM5 might be worth a try.
